Overview

Mission

Boldly proclaiming Gods word, spreading His love, and making disciples of Jesus Christ

What it reported doing in 2025

Worship: New Horizons Church is a religious organization providing members and the broader community with an opportunity to worship basaed upon a fundamental belief that the Bible is Gods word. As a new church, we started with no financial resources. Weekly giving by members has allowed us to rent space to conduct our weekly services, pay for visiting clergy to provide regular weekly sermons, develop and start Sunday School classes for the children of these same members. Excess contributions has allowed our congregation to investigate acquiring a permanent facility from which we can provide other services to our members and the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
